Metrics & Events

Toggly tracks metrics and events to help you understand feature usage, measure business impact, and detect anomalies.

Types of Metrics

Feature Usage Metrics

Toggly tracks three types of feature interactions to help you understand the full user journey:

  • Checks: How many times a feature was evaluated (automatic)
  • Views: How many users saw the feature UI (manual)
  • Usage: How many users interacted with the feature (manual)

These metrics let you calculate eligibility rates, view rates, and conversion rates for your features.

See Feature Usage Tracking for a detailed guide on checks, views, and usage metrics.

Business Metrics

Custom metrics you define to measure business impact:

  • Conversion Rate: Percentage of users who convert
  • Revenue: Revenue generated
  • Engagement: User engagement metrics
  • Retention: User retention rates

System Performance Metrics

Track the health and performance of your application infrastructure:

  • Resource Usage: CPU load, memory consumption, thread counts
  • Stability: Exception rates, error counts, crash reports
  • Throughput: Request rates, garbage collection events

These metrics help you correlate feature releases with system stability (e.g., "Did enabling the new video processor spike our CPU usage?").

Metrics Dashboard

The Toggly dashboard provides:

  • Real-time Metrics: Live updates of feature usage
  • Historical Trends: Charts showing metrics over time
  • Comparison Views: Compare metrics across features or experiments
  • Anomaly Detection: Automatic alerts for unusual patterns

Anomaly Detection

Toggly automatically detects anomalies in your metrics:

  • Sudden Spikes: Unusual increases in feature usage
  • Drops: Unexpected decreases in metrics
  • Pattern Changes: Shifts in user behavior
  • Error Rate Increases: Spikes in error rates

When anomalies are detected, you'll receive:

  • Dashboard Alerts: Visual indicators in the dashboard
  • Email Notifications: Optional email alerts
  • Webhook Notifications: Real-time webhook calls

Metric Aggregation

Metrics are aggregated at multiple levels:

  • Per Feature: Metrics for individual features
  • Per Experiment: Metrics for experiments
  • Per Environment: Metrics per environment
  • Overall: Aggregate metrics across all features
